The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and efficient method of administering the Korean version-Boston Naming Test for Children(K-BNT-C) by comparing the following three different methods: 1) administering 60 test items; 2) applying a discontinuation rule of the ceiling upon six consecutive failures and 3) applying both a baseline upon eight consecutive successes and a discontinuation rule of the ceiling. Methods A total of 2,560 children between 3 and 14 years old were stratified into 24 groups based on age and were tested via the K-BNT-C. The results of each age group were analyzed based on the aforementioned three administration methods. Results There was no significant difference among the test scores of the three methods. However, the number of test items were significantly (p
